tonight. >> reporter: tonight, a weekend of record heat out west is fueling a frighteningly early wildfire season. on the fire lines, north of santa barbara today, fire crews telling us the conditions are ripe for extreme fire behavior. digging and hosing to stop flair-ups. >> five years of drought has really played into it a bit. we all know its dangerous conditions. >> reporter: hundreds of mandatory evacuations under way. but no losses. >> once you see that that many people are coming together to tackle this beast, that's overwhelming. >> reporter: already this year, more than 2 million acres burned compared to a half million this time last year. one of the things that they're worried about around here is what they call sundowners. right as the sun goes down, the wind picks up and that is what really drives the fire and makes it unpredictable. infernos burning in so many western states.

in new mexico, 24 homes have been lost. and in arizona, more evacuations. 12,000 acres have burned. all of this as a heat wave from california to louisiana bares down on millions, setting off heat alerts in seven states. temperatures in phoenix may hit a scorcher, 120 degrees. and storms fueled by this extreme heat, brought down a tree on this georgia home overnight, killing an infant. in california tonight, finally, the containment is up to 50 mkt. but with these conditions the threat is not over. the flair-ups continue like this one right over there, but they've cut a lot of fire line like this charred area here, which they hope will keep the fire from spreading because there's no more fuel. but the forecast isn't good with triple-digit temperatures in the forecast. they're concerned, cecilia. >> neal karlinsky on the fire lines tonight. thank you. and abc's senior meteorologist rob marciano joins us now. neal mentioned that heat, are we looking at potential records? >> yeah long-duration heat wave. potentially all record highs.

grade school and middle school records show he was disciplined 31 times for disrespectful behavior and insubordination. and new details about that bombshell from this gun shop owner who said mateen inquired about high-end body armor and bulk ammo. the fbi now confirming they were indeed notified but could not do a meaningful investigative follow-up since this store didn't have a name or any other information on mateen. the orlando city soccer club is playing tonight. they're stopping the game at the 49th minute for a moment of silence to honor the victims and they have asked different sections of the crowd to wear the colors of the pride flag. cecilia. >> growing memorial behind you. we want to turn now to the race for the white house. presummit tif republican nominee donald trump on the campaign trail in las vegas today, warning the republican party not to bet against him. he is weighing in on the orlando shooting, too, with what he said

[ applause ] >> reporter: and tonight, donald trump is fighting back against an internal revolt, with the convention just a month away. >> we won 36, 37 states. people that won none are saying maybe we can get something at the convention. doesn't work that way, folks. >> reporter: some republican delegates are now plotting a coup in cleveland to block trump's nomination. >> we're going to beat hillary. and it would be helpful if the republicans could help us a little bit, you know. >> reporter: and if they don't? >> if for any reason they get a little bit like they don't want to help out as much, then i'll fund my own campaign, i'd love to do that. i'd love to do that. >> and mary joins us now from arizona. mary, donald trump coming under fire, you heard it there from many in his own party. but tonight, a big hillary clinton ally also had some pretty harsh words for him. >> yeah, clinton's top attack
